The numbers below represent a conservative snapshot of the number
of nonhuman primates on hand for experimentation worldwide at any
one time. The total number is growing due largely to the ever-increasing
support of primate experimentation by the United States and a few
other governments

If you have verifiable data on populations not included here, please
email info(at)primatefreedom(dot)com.

These figures, unless noted, were web retrieved between August
23 and 26, 2007, from the Primate Info Net (PIN). PIN is supported
by grants RR000167 and RR15311, National Primate Centers Program,
National Center for Research Resources, the National Institutes
of Health, an agency of the United States government. Additional
support for PIN is provided by the International Primatological
Society and the Primate Society of Great Britain.

The figures on PIN are the result of voluntary self-reporting.
These figures are dynamic; the United States imports approximately
20,000 monkeys a year, primarily for terminal toxicity studies in
contract laboratories.

Additional details such as the directors' names, the number of
staff, and the type of experiments underway at the facilities named
below can be found on the PIN site here, here, and here.
